Karnataka Rajyotsava

. Telling us more about the song, executive producer Maaz Khan says, “The guys from Troll Haiklu, an online meme page, have wanted to do something with us for the longest time, because of which they recently approached Danish. And that his how this song came about. It’s a promotional song, but will not be included in the film.”

So, what is the song about? “A couple of years ago, a video appeared online which had three girls dancing in a car to Bollywood songs over the years. We thought that was a cool concept and tried something similar, but with 13 Kannada songs from over the decades. This is our way of commemorating Karnataka Rajyotsava and is our tribute to Kannada films,” says Maaz.

The video — that has been directed by Abhishek Savalgi from Troll Haiklu and Pradeep Doddaiah from Filmy Fun — covers songs such as

, Stylo Stylo and

. “The song was shot in one day — from 7.30 am to 8 pm. Prem choreographed the video which sees Danish, Sruthi and Vijay in 13 costumes. Although it was taxing, the three actors made it look like a breeze,” adds Maaz.
